Understanding God's Word using the Westminster Larger Catechism

"The Westminster standards, comprised of the Confession of Faith along with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, are monuments to biblical orthodoxy.  Concisely and precisely, each of these documents address the fundamental truths of reformation theology, indeed of the Christian faith. They are resources for study, providing insight into doctrine and guidance into practice.  In my own writing, I often refer to the Confession or one of the Catechisms in support or explanation of some point.  They are remarkable reference sources.  The Larger Catechism leaves no stone unturned as it unpacks the issue in question.  VanKempen's approach to the Larger Catechism is different.  Rather than simply using the Catechism as a reference work, he uses it as catalyst for devotional reflection.  As you read this volume, you will follow his thoughts generated by his meditation on the words of the Catechism but never apart from the ultimate standard for faith, the Bible itself."  Dr. Micheal Barrett
